I have two cards running on this machine. I have the on board monitor
card and the top PCI card. Each time I enable the third PCI card it
freezes and indicates that the driver could not be initialized.

It's possible that the third video card you have is not compatible with the
other two (or one of them).

Try removing the other PCI card and test to see if it works correctly with
your onboard AGP. Try changing the slots of the PCI cards. That could make
a difference.

Check on this site to see if you can find anyone else that has been able to
use the same configuration.

Check with the manufacturer(s) of the cards for any information that they
might post on using their hardware with multiple displays. Some PCI cards
will only work when they are the primary adapter. If you have two of these,
then it won't work. Not all PCI cards play nicely with multimonitor. One
solution is to get a PCI card with dual ports. This is working nicely on my
husband's system (Nvidia AGP and dual PCI). Mine works fine with an ATI AGP
card and 2 elderly S3 PCI cards.
